Byron, OK
Byron, OK's wildfire risk, in USFS's own numbers
Byron's 62 buildings earn a 81st-percentile wildfire-risk score nationally under USFS's model — in USFS's highest wildfire-risk band nationally. (Source: USFS's Wildfire Risk to Communities methodology.)
Separately from the risk score above, Byron's burn probability — fire likelihood with no building count factored in — sits at the 75th percentile nationally.
Byron's building exposure, zone by zone
Byron rates 83.9% Minimal exposure against just 16.1% Direct and 0% Indirect — of 62 buildings counted, few sit close enough to burnable vegetation for USFS to flag them individually.
How Byron compares
Byron's 81st national percentile looks worse in isolation than its 23rd ranking inside Oklahoma does — this place is on the milder end for its own state, by 58 points. Among the 31,521 US communities USFS scores, Byron ranks 5,933 for wildfire risk (1 is highest) and 30,593 by building count (1 is largest). Within Oklahoma alone, it ranks 642 of 834 places by risk. See the full county-by-county picture for Oklahoma on its state page.
Byron and the insurance market
At the 81st percentile nationally, Byron carries the very high rating that has pushed some carriers to limit new business in similarly-scored places elsewhere in the country. Worth comparing quotes rather than assuming last year's renewal terms still apply.
Hardening a home in Byron
With 83.9% of buildings rated Minimal exposure, Byron gets less benefit from structure hardening than a Direct- or Indirect-dominant place would — the home-hardening guide explains why the zone matters.
